Tasting Notes:
One of the great wines of Gigondas, this is already a very stylish wine with lovely, elegant fruit characters (some of the top Gigondas wines can be a little overblown in some vintages such as 2003) and well-integrated oak. A real pleasure.
Drinking Dates:
2008 to 2020
Cépagement:
55% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah
Soil:
Clay and rock, below the great Jurassic calcareous ridge of the Dentelles de Montmirail on small terraces
Upbringing:
Hand-picked, severe selection, crushing, destalking, cold pre-fermentation and separate fermentation for each variety for 21 days with pigeage and temperature control. Aged in 100% oak casks, around 40% new.
ABV:
13.5%
Critic Reviews:
"Simply sumptuous - our favourite wine" (RVF Rhone tasting 10/06) 92-94/100 (Tanzer)
